Letter to Julia 20141206


In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

After my voice training today, I fed the fish and the cats as I usually do.  Floofy, Chee Cheah, and Simper spend most of their time outdoors, so after taking care of the kitten tornado, I went outside to feed the adults.  I could hear a storm coming, so I went to check it out.  Over my house was a black cloud but of dragonflies, millions of them, hovering over my house.  Then immediately the storm started pelting down.  No One puts on a show like Allah.  Glory to Allah.

I gave my kittens their first official snack today.  My Dad gave me half a fried red snapper head.  I picked out the meat and gave the rest to the kittens.  They didn't know what it was at first, but ---- was the first to dig in.  The others followed suit, growling and punching at each other.  ---- was the only one who didn't take the snarlfest seriously, and lay back in the distance just watching.  I had to pick her up and put her in front of the fish head to get her started.  So my kittens are old enough to dismantle a fish head.  Soon the boys will become sexually mature, and they will have to spend most of their time outside.  It's a shame to put Batty outside because he's so fluffy.  But I don't want him to pee on my laundry.

Erin sweetie, I saw your HSN video.  The audio was awfully tinny, I had a hard time understanding it.  But I got the gist of it.  Your Dad sounded absolutely thrilled on the phone.  I guess he's happy you don't have to be naked to earn a living, and I'm glad too.  I want to remind you and Julia to use Internet video as often as possible to interact with me.  And don't confine yourself to one product, OK?  Make some connections in the halal food business.

You are my wives, inshaAllah.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.
